TCM & Faith

A Holistic Medical Approach -
Not Evil - Not Mystic

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a medical system that looks at the body in a holistic way.

Its organ theory later influenced Western medicine, and modern imaging techniques such as CT scans with contrast confirm what the "meridian system" describes: meridians are pathways that correspond directly to the nervous system.

Qi is nothing weired — it simply refers to a nervous impulse. Just as hitting your finger with a hammer sends an electric-like signal through your nerves, an acupuncture needle can stimulate these impulses to activate healing.
Yin describes all material substances in the body: blood, lymph, synovial fluid, bones, skin, muscles, organs, and cells. It corresponds to the parasympathetic nervous system and to organs that are “full” (heart, lungs, liver, spleen), always holding blood, air, or food. Yin is cooling, moist, and calming.
Yang describes movement and activity. It corresponds to the sympathetic nervous system and to hollow organs that move or transform substances (intestines, bladder, gall bladder). Yang is warming and dynamic. Qi belongs to Yang, while blood belongs to Yin.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine in TCM works the same way as pharmacology — herbs, minerals, and sometimes animal products are prescribed according to specific syndromes. Modern research confirms many of these uses: for example, Artemisia (AiYe) led to a Nobel Prize in 2016 for its effectiveness against malaria, and “Horny Goat Weed” (Yin Yang Huo) was the inspiration for Viagra. These remedies are grounded in biology, not superstition.

Questioning & Diagnosis

Diagnosis in TCM is based on careful questioning (about digestion, sleep, emotions, cravings, habits), observation (tongue, skin, eyes), and pulse-taking. Every TCM syndrome has a Western medical equivalent (for example, Yin deficiency may show as anemia, osteoporosis, or dry skin).

In short: TCM is a medical, holistic system. Yin and Yang are just other words for action and reaction, warm and cool, full and empty.

God created our bodies with nerves, muscles, and healing abilities — acupuncture and herbs simply support these natural processes.

Acupuncture is safe, regulated, and sterile

By now you probably understand that what you were told is driven by fear and ignorance.

So lets go to the last point, Acupuncture: There is no “devil’s drop” on the needle. Ministries of health worldwide would never allow unclean or unsafe practices. Acupuncture simply places a fine needle between muscles and tendons, stimulating the nervous system to reduce pain, improve circulation, and balance hormones. Specialized forms include:

Ear acupuncture: a short neural pathway to the brain, making treatments fast and effective.
Electro-acupuncture: applying a gentle current through the needle to release muscle cramps, sciatica, or support fertility and ovary functionality.
Cupping: with glass or silicone cups we create a vacuum that lifts the skin and tissue, increasing blood circulation and lymphatic flow. It is great for anti aging. Bruising may appear but is harmless and shows the release of stagnation.
Gua Sha: scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool (like a Chinese spoon) to increase blood flow and release muscle tension. Often used for stiff necks or muscle pain, it promotes healing by opening small blood vessels under the skin.
Moxibustion: gently warming specific areas of the body by burning Artemisia (mugwort) close to the skin (1–2 cm distance). This brings warmth into the body, stimulates circulation, and strengthens the immune system.
